The BeadforLife story is uplifting. It's full of individuals overcoming huge challenges who are working their way out of poverty. Our story is of accidental beginnings combined with heartful intentions. Over the past 7 years we've grown into an effective poverty eradication organization with offices in Boulder, CO and Uganda. We welcome all media and are always grateful for the support. Please contact Amy Yanda Lee for any interviews, high-resolution photographs and more in-depth information.
